We are updating the rules for our FruitShare Haiku Contest. After coming to the decision that the points system was a little too complicated, we’re changing it up. Three of us here at FruitShare will judge the haikus and pick the one that best represents a FruitShare fruit. Take a look at what’s currently shipping and choose your favorite fruit. Then, get writing! The winner will receive an organic cotton t-shirt from FruitShare.
A haiku is a short poem modeled after a specific Japanese form. It is three lines long, with a total of 17 syllables. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third has 5 again.
Here is an example of a FruitShare™ haiku:
Cold sweet delicious
A mini sun in my palm
Melts the clouds away
Submit your FruitShare haiku as a comment to this post. We will judge the best poem at the end of the contest, and contact the winner. Good luck!
This contest is now closed.
Grapefruit. No sugar.

Spring morning fishing
Orange for lunch on the bank
Between snow and sun
This constant craving
for your sweetness on my tongue.
I wait for summer.
grapefruit has tough skin
that protects the sweet soft core,
just like my mother.
Aha–didn’t read the directions carefully the first time.
Kumquat, small and bright,
I’ll be full of luck tonight
with you, full of light.
In Hawaii grow
Juicy, delicious, spiky
Pineapples for me.
I need a spring sign
Winter is starting to suck
Send me some kumquats
Red Green & Yellow
Fruitshare bolds up the table
A good health package!
